In 2023, the import volume of live swine except pure-bred breeding weighing less than 50 kg to the US stood at 42 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 suggests a gradual decline: 41.296 million kilograms in 2024, decreasing steadily each year to 38.412 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year, imports are expected to decline by approximately 1.8% in 2025, 1.8% in 2026, 1.8% in 2027, and 1.8% in 2028, reflecting a consistent downward trend over this period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast is -1.5%.
Key future trends to watch for include potential impacts of trade policies, changes in domestic production, and fluctuations in demand due to consumer preferences. External factors such as diseases affecting swine populations globally and advancements in breeding technologies might also play significant roles in shaping these import trends. Monitoring these aspects will be crucial for stakeholders involved in this market.
